I wrote this book for every man and woman who loves God's truth and righteousness, and has an open mind to consider all the evidence about him. For my ideas are based upon the evidence of knowledge, knowledge about natural things, and knowledge about spiritual things that comes from the Bible. For the Bible is the only authentic source of knowledge about spiritual things, and over one-third of the words in the text of this book are quotations from it.
I chose the title of this book because Jesus said, "The sons of this age marry, and are given in marraige, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. For neither can they die any more, for they are like the agents, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection" (Luke 20:34-36)
In this book I make many conjectures about God and man, and about the relationship between things natural and things spiritual. Nevertheless, I have written nothing that challenges or would cause doubt concerning faith in God and his only begotten Son Jesus Christ, or any of the clear teachings in the Bible about our obedience to them. On the contrary, I have deliberately sought to encourage the reader to believe and obey them.
I wrote this book to help you better understand God and the greater reality of things spiritual. And I am hoping that will encourage you to have a greater love for him and his holy word, and you will accept his offer to become one of his sons for eternity. That offer is for every soul in the earth, regardless of their earthly condition. If you truly commit your life to him he will transform you into a new creation. He will give you a new spirit while you live here upon the earth, and a new incorruptible body in heaven when your life here is over.
